You ever have your whole trip get fucked up because you checked your bag and they lost it? I have.

Also, by queuing up like that, you get dibs on limited overhead luggage space - 15 minutes in a queue is 30-45 minutes you don't have to wait waiting for your baggage to arrive in Baggage Claim because you decided to not be one of those losers waiting for "reserved seats".

It's a good travel strategy to save time and energy later.

You also don't have to arrive over 45 minutes early just to check your bag.

I bring 1 carry-on and 1 personal. If I have to pay, there's a bigger problem.

Right and getting on the plane last likely means you'll be checking that carry on at the gate.

Then we have a bigger problem.

On a return trip you can just put your stuff in a box and mail it home.

Edit: Unless you live in one of those countries where putting a box in a vicinity of a home counts as delivery.

It also saves the checked bags fee that most airlines have these days.
